The film "Animal World" is directed by Han Yan, starring Li Yifeng, Zhou Dongyu and others. The film is adapted from the cartoon "Gambling Inspiration" by Japanese cartoonist Nobuyuki Fukumoto. The main plot of the film is that in a materialistic environment, there is still a person who insists on morality. He uses his morality to confront and survive in the cracks. The male protagonist is a person from the bottom of the society named Zheng Kaisi (played by Li Yifeng). He lives very hard. His old mother is seriously hospitalized and is in a coma every day. All of them are used in daily life and the hospitalization expenses of the mother. If I can't make ends meet, I always need to ask my childhood sweetheart Liu Qing (played by Zhou Dongyu) for relief. The two of them liked each other, but Zheng Kaisi was very inferior because he had no money, so he did not dare to tell Liu Qing that they were together. The days are hard, but they can go on. One day, Zheng Kaisi's hair Xiao Li Jun gave him a chance to "make a fortune". Zheng Kaisi, who was overwhelmed by life, finally failed to withstand the temptation of huge wealth, and was deceived by Li Jun to the point of losing all his money. Carry huge debts. Zheng Kaisi has to escape from the gambling game set up by the mysterious usury organization, and has to pay off his debts. The main line is very clear, and the complexity of the film is complicated. When advancing the main line of the plot, there are constant twists and turns, and there are constant interludes and interference. As the title says, what is depicted here is an animal world where almost everyone follows animal instincts. The people who participated in the gambling game of the mysterious organization "Destiny" are either unlucky bastards who are trapped in debt and imprisoned, or veterans who have been in and out of the rivers and lakes many times to harvest newcomers. Their purpose is very strong. debt, or make a fortune. People die for money. All gamblers use money as their fundamental purpose without any cover up, but they can do whatever they can to achieve their goals. All those who stand in the way must die, because if the opponent does not die, they will die themselves. At this time, the morality of the rivers and lakes has long ceased to exist, and only going out alive is the winner. The film faces the ugly side of human nature, and dares to shoot the dark side of human nature, exposing human nature. At the back of the film, Zheng Kaisi said a paragraph: "I have already fought the battle that should be fought, and I have also run to the end of the road that should be run. Lao Tzu believes in the way, and Lao Tzu will defend, betray, and scramble. There is no bottom line, I want to turn Lao Tzu into an animal, NO, there is no drama, Lao Tzu would rather be a clown who overcomes difficulties all his life, and he will never become like you scumbags, the game is yours, but the rules are set by Lao Tzu, Fuck the animal world, I don't believe in this." This paragraph further highlights Zheng Kaisi, the justice in his heart. This paragraph saw my blood surging, and I also wanted to be a righteous person like him. I hope there are more righteous people like Zheng Kaisi in this world.
